Budding Brooklyn Tech Founder Provides opportunities to marginalized New York Youth

Sept. 17, 2021 - PRLog -- In times where securing remote opportunities for marginalized youth seems dwindling, budding tech entrepreneur Kofi Korang of Solid As Gold Consulting (https://solidasgoldconsulting.com/) has been working with New York State education organizations to help physically challenged and marginalized youths across NYC boroughs to gain leadership and soft-tech skills. As a founder who comes from humble beginnings, he recalls having to jump through many hurdles, including being reminded on many occasions that there were few  African/Black founders like him in the industry.

"It came to my attention that some students with a slight disability or deprived economic backgrounds found it difficult to secure internship opportunities across the city, I told my team to structure remote training and internships for students across the state and soon nationwide. One of the reasons I founded my company was to be able to provide valuable opportunities that I didn't have growing up. We look forward to growing and brInging along as many marginalized youth as possible".

Mr. Korang is the founder of three tech companies, Solid As Gold Operating Systems (SAGOS), that work with entrepreneurs and small businesses in the following ways:

• SAGOS Marketplace (https://www.sagosmarketplace.com/), a global multi-vendor, product and service marketplace, which reduces the costs and funding delays involved in using online marketplace and e-commerce delivery services
• SAGOS POS Software (https://sagospos.com/), a point of sale & payments gateway, which eliminates the high cost of accepting online/onsite payments and offers POS inventory management
• SAGOS DISTRO (https://sagosdistro.com/), a global record label, worldwide music distribution aggregator with in-built CRM software and promotions toolkit

As expansion plans unfold, Mr. Korang plans to involve more youths in soft and hard skills development, as well as leadership training amongst marginalized youth groups. We wish him all the success!
